Hello again.

I ended up using 'implib' to create the .lib file from the .dll,
and now have it working :-).

So, thank you very much for the advice.

While I'm at it, I have also been trying to use 'OCCI'
for Oracle under BCB5 UP1, but I keep getting linker
errors, even though I used 'implib' again, to create
the .lib from the .dll, and included it into my project.

Any ideas ?

Cheers.
